Museum was small but fantastic. The guiding was the thing👍 Rachel and Avigail was so helpful, frendly and happy.
The Hebrew Music Museum
A Revelatory Musical Experience in Jerusalem
The one-of-a-kind Hebrew Music Museum is the cornerstone of downtown Jerusalem’s Music Square.
With an impressive collection of musical instruments and interactive exhibits that help visitors explore the incredible breadth of history and culture that has shaped Hebrew music through the ages, the museum is a welcome escape from the distractions of the outside world that disconnect us from our inner musical souls.
Hebrew Music Museum Tours
Entrance to the museum includes a tablet that will guide you in your exploration of the 7 different exhibition spaces throughout the museum, each characterizing a different culture through unique decor, sounds, musical instruments, manuscripts from different periods of the Jewish people and more.
And an advanced Occulus Rift headset virtual reality experience will take you on a 3-dimensional audio visual tour through the music.
You can also join a 1-hour guided tour with “Grandpa Levi,” who will guide you through history with explanations and tidbits along your journey through the seven major stepping stones of Hebrew musical tradition.

“One of the highlights of my trip”
I am not a big fan of museums and grumbled when my friend wanted to go. I am so glad that I agreed. This small, unassuming building was filled with an incredible collection of instruments and the stories of the instruments as they relate to the Jewish people. We had two FANTASTIC guides, Rachel...
MoreI am not a big fan of museums and grumbled when my friend wanted to go. I am so glad that I agreed. This small, unassuming building was filled with an incredible collection of instruments and the stories of the instruments as they relate to the Jewish people. We had two FANTASTIC guides, Rachel and Avigal. They shared interesting stories and insights. They posed questions to deepen our thinking and even demonstrated some of the instruments. If you go there, wait for a tour with Rachel or Avigal. We especially enjoyed the virtual reality tour of the Beit Hamikdash. One of the most wonderful experiences in Israel. I strongly recommend it.
